1. Magically know which car is a taxi and which car is a private vehicle. (Wrongly assuming a private car as a taxi is offensive, but taxis aren’t marked in any particular way.)
2. Know the proper hand signal to indicate where you are going and match it with the ones that occasionally come from the taxi.
3. Assess where you should sit according to the standard of 4 in back and two in front passenger seat.
4. Greet others as you are entering, but then don’t say much more.
5. If you are the 2nd person in from the passenger side of the back seat, you sit forward so that everyone fits.
6. Once you have seated, you don’t move regardless of how awkward or uncomfortable the position is.
7. Magically know how much it costs and have exact change ready the moment you get out. (You don’t get it out beforehand and you don’t get it out while you’re sitting there because it’s too crowded but you don’t wait until after you’re out because then you’re standing in the middle of traffic and holding the taxi up from moving.)
